Programming Nodes
To add or delete nodes, exit the SmartNet program and at the SmartNet prompt type:
NODES [return]. This will start the maintenance program that allows the user to
add or delete nodes.

To add or delete a node, add or delete the number of the node to the list. After
adding or deleting nodes click on the save button to write the new configuration to
memory.
Upload/Download Node
The SmartNet console automatically creates and retrieves the associated files for the
Node. If an operator tries to upload a file that doesn’t exist (hasn’t been
downloaded) the console will display an error message.
NOTE: The network must be free of alarm and trouble conditions before attempting
to transfer files. If an alarm or trouble is received during a download the file transfer
will be aborted and will have to be re-downloaded when the panel is clear. If an
alarm or trouble is received during an upload, a resume upload button will be
available when the panel is clear.
Download Node
Put the SmartNet console in the direct access mode for the satellite unit that you
want to transfer from by clicking the mouse on the node number in the node
window. Press the enter key to get the password prompt from that panel. Select the
display option of the system menu. Select either dictionary or configuration then the
download option. The transfer will begin automatically. When transferring a
dictionary file the data window will have a green background. When retrieving a
configuration file the data window will have a red background.
Upload Node
Put the SmartNet console in the direct access mode for the satellite unit that you
want to transfer from by clicking the mouse on the node number in the node
window. Press the enter key to get the password prompt from that panel. Select the
change option of the system menu. Select either dictionary or configuration then the
upload option. The transfer will begin automatically. When transferring a dictionary
file the data window will have a green background. When uploading a configuration
file the data window will have a red background.
WatchDog Timer
A built in WatchDog timer monitors the transmission of data from the network
master. Should data be interrupted for more than 15 seconds, the sounder on the
MSTR-422 will sound steady and can’t be silenced until the network resumes
communication.
